Hi! I'm Iggy. I've worked as a babysitter, nanny, after school counselor, and outdoor education instructor. I'm a certified lifeguard, CPR/first-aid trained, and I have my youth mental health first aid certification. I have experience with ages 1-18, and have experience working with children with mental and physical disabilities. I'm new to the Champaign-Urbana area and would love to connect with some local families! My favorite part of working with kids is helping them embrace their creativity and curiosity. I love finding what kiddos love to do and supporting them in it, whether it's building a pillow fort, reading aloud together, or playing outside. I respect the intelligence and independence of the kids I work with, and try to provide gentle, discovery-based guidance when needed. P.S. I used to work at an animal shelter and my house is basically a menagerie at any given time, so pets are a bonus and I'd love to help care for them as well!

Hello, I’m Katie! I absolutely love working with children, and I have years of experience caring for toddlers and young kids. In the summer of 2020, I worked as a full-time nanny for a 3-year-old, where I helped with potty training, daily routines, and fun learning activities. I’ve also worked with children through CU Church, helping create a positive and engaging environment for little ones. I’m comfortable with pets, driving children to and from activities, and creating a safe, upbeat atmosphere wherever I’m needed. A bit about me — I’m currently a senior at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, majoring in Agricultural Communications. On campus, I serve as President of my sorority, where I’ve developed strong leadership and communication skills. Outside of school, you’ll usually find me in the kitchen — I love baking and sharing sweet treats with friends and family! I’d love the opportunity to bring my energy, care, and experience to your family!

I graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Nursing in 2022 and moved to Champaign, IL, to support my husband during his Ph.D. studies. Since then, I have been working in early childhood education settings, including four months at Harper College Child Development Center and currently at Parkland College Child Development Center. I have hands-on experience working with infants and toddlers between the ages of 6 months and 3 years. With my nursing background, I prioritize hygiene, health, and safety in all aspects of childcare. I am a deeply compassionate person who believes that every child deserves love, attention, and a nurturing environment. My approach is gentle, respectful, and supportive, ensuring that children feel safe and valued. I am currently at an intermediate level in English and actively working to improve my language skills every day. My long-term goal is to return to the nursing profession once I reach an advanced level of English proficiency. Until then, I am fully committed to providing the highest quality care and support in early childhood settings, where I continue to grow both personally and professionally.
